Abby Huntsman is Leaving HuffPost Live for The Cycle

Abby Huntsman is leaving HuffPost Live to become a co-host and resident Republican on MSNBC’s The Cycle. Ms. Huntsman, who has been a host at Huffington Post’s 12-hour live-streaming news network since it launched last year, announced her departure on a segment about major moves in media on HuffPost Live this afternoon.

Ms. Huntsman will join Ari Melber, Touré and Krystal Ball (who is currently on maternity leave) on MSNBC’s afternoon political roundtable. Ms. Huntsman, who is the daughter of Republican presidential primary candidate Jon Huntsman, will fill the empty chair left by S.E. Cupp. Ms. Cupp left MSNBC for CNN earlier this summer.
